CRENSHAW SKATE CLUB – JUNETEENTH COLLECTION

Posted on 2024-05-13

Crenshaw Skate Club has revealed its latest commemorative collection and it’s one that the brand’s founder Tobey McIntosh feels particularly proud of. In the California-centered outfitter’s Juneteenth delivery, the apparel pays tribute to prominent figures in black history and, specifically, pioneering black skaters who paved the way for brands like CSC.

Across a cohesive presentation of garments spanning graphic tees, button-downs and other cut-and-sew pieces, CSC intermingles both vintage and contemporary African diasporic imagery throughout.

Specifically, the collage button-up shirt stands out amidst the foray and really signals the intermingling of imagery from both time periods, leaning into an all-around grid-like pattern.

BAPE – CHUSEN COLLECTION

Posted on 2024-05-06

Each button-down features a subtle cord at the bottom of the shirt for adjusting fit, along with two zippered pockets. On the right side of the chest is a small BAPE logo. The shorts are also made to be adjusted, featuring a built-in belt. The matching hats and T-shirts round out the lineup for a simple summertime outfit.

Chusen is a Japanese dying technique that originated around 150 years ago. While the garments may look as if they’ve been tie-dyed, Chusen uses a special setup where dye is poured on the fabric from the top and bleeds down, creating a blur effect. BAPE says that there are only a few machines in Japan capable of the process.
